Ginger is a root that has been used in Asian, Indian and Arabic cuisine and medicine. The University of Maryland Medical Center notes that its long list of uses include treatment of upset stomach, diarrhea, nausea, arthritis and heart conditions. Ginger also possesses blood-thinning properties, as well as anti-inflammatory effects that may indirectly help thin blood, as inflammation can cause thicker blood. Ginger can be consumed in a variety of forms including fresh or dried root, extracts, capsules and teas.
